Chelsea and four other clubs that could sign Leonel Messi on a free transfer.

After 778 games, 672 and 305 assist Leonel Messi and fc Barcelona finally waved goodbye to each other yesterday.

As it stands the six times Ballon d'or winner is currently a free agent and big clubs across Europe are already dreaming of a sensational signing.

But it will take only a selected few to be able to convince Leonel Messi to join them, so below we have come up with four clubs we believe could make an attempt to sign him.

1. Barcelona. Even though Barcelona have announced his departure, we can not actually rule out a sensational return, we know both parties love each other.

2. Chelsea. The London club needs a proven goal scorer to lead the line next season, with Erling Halaand and Romelu Lukaku transfer price on a high.

Chelsea could go all out and invest in Leonel Messi and it is a transfer that will make sense both on and off the field.
